Relion 630 series

Feeder protection and control

REF630
Flexibility for demanding utility and
industrial power distribution systems
Extensive earth-fault protection for
distribution networks
REF630 is a comprehensive feeder management relay
for protection, control, measurement and supervision in
utility and industrial power distribution systems, including
radial, looped and meshed distribution networks, with
or without distributed power generation. REF630 is also
ideal for feeder bay control.
Application
REF630 has been designed to be the main protection
for overhead lines and cable feeders, in either isolated
neutral, resistance-earthed, compensated or effectively
earthed distribution networks. There are four pre-defined
configurations, designed to match the most typical feeder
protection and control requirements and intended for open/
closed ring feeder applications, radial overhead/mixed line
feeder applications, ring/meshed feeder applications and bus
sectionalizers. The pre-defined configurations can be used
as such or easily tailored to application-specific requirements
with freely selectable functions.
REF630 can be used in either single or double-busbar
applications with one or two breakers and numerous
switching devices. It also supports a substantial number
of both manually and motor-operated disconnectors and
earthing switches. Consequently, REF630 can be used to
control various types of switchgears.
The earth-fault protection has been significantly extended,
now including not only directional and non-directional,
transient/intermittent, wattmetric and admittance-based but
also both harmonics-based and multifrequency admittance-
based earth-fault protection. The new additions take the
earth-fault protection to new heights, creating an extensive
earth-fault protection portfolio. In addition, the sensitivity of
the intermittent earth-fault protection has been significantly
improved and reactive power undervoltage protection added.
REF630 also includes a fault locator which locates short
circuits in radial distribution networks and earth faults in
effectively and low-resistance earthed ones. If the fault current
is as high as or higher than the load current, earth faults in
isolated neutral distribution networks will also be located.
The pre-configurations can be tailored to meet the application
requirements using the IEC 61850-compliant protection and
control IED manager PCM600.
Human-machine Interface (HMI)
As a member of the Relion product family, REF630 shares
the same Human Machine Interface (HMI) look and feel as the
other Relion protection and control relays and IEDs. The same
look and feel includes the location of a push button with a
certain function and the menu structure.
2 Feeder protection and control | REF630
The 630 series relays are equipped with a large graphical
display which can show customizable single-line diagrams
(SLD) with position indication for the circuit breaker,
disconnectors and the earthing switch. Also measured values
can be displayed. The SLDs can be flexibly adjusted to meet
user requirements using PCM600.
The 630 series HMI is distinguished by fifteen three-color
LEDs and five configurable push buttons, which can be
used as control buttons for various tasks such as blocking,
adjusting setting groups or triggering the disturbance
recorder. The five push buttons can also be conveniently
used as menu shortcuts. Another distinguishing feature is the
detached HMI, as an option to the integrated HMI, which is
highly beneficial from a wiring perspective due to the large
number of IOs the 630 series relays are equipped with.
Standardized communication
REF630 fully supports the IEC 61850 standard for communi-
cation in substations. The feeder management relay also
supports the DNP3 (TCP/IP) and 60870-5-103 communication
protocols, and is able to use two communication protocols
simultaneously. The supported communication protocols,
including IEC 61850, offer seamless connectivity to various
station automation and SCADA systems.
The implementation of the IEC 61850 standard in REF630
covers both vertical and horizontal communication, including
GOOSE messaging according to IEC 61850-8-1 with both
binary and analog signals. Analog GOOSE messaging
enables fast transfer of analog measured values over the
station bus. This facilitates, for example, sharing of RTD input
values such as surrounding temperature with other relays.
GOOSE messaging is an alternative to traditional hardwiring
signaling for exchanging interlocking information between
the relays. For time-critical applications, REF630 supports
synchronization over Ethernet using SNTP or over a separate
bus using IRIG-B.
630 series
REF630 is a member of ABBs Relion product family and
part of its 630 protection and control series. The 630 series
relays are characterized by functional scalability and flexibile
configurability, and have been designed to unleash the full
potential of the IEC 61850 standard for communication and
interoperability of substation automation devices. In addition
to REF630, the 630 series includes the following relays:
RET630 Transformer protection and control
REM630 Motor protection and control
REG630 Generator protection and control
